P. R. Laughlin and team report that three person teams work better at logical problem solving than other size groups and individuals.
“If groups of three perform as well as groups of larger size, it is obviously a more efficient use of human and logistic resources to use three-person groups”, the researchers concluded. “Further research should be conducted to determine whether three persons are necessary and sufficient for groups to perform better than the best of an equivalent number of individuals on other problem solving tasks”.
I wonder if educators have found that an individual with a mobile PC (such as a Tablet PC or Ultra Mobile PC – UMPC) performs logic-based problem solving more efficiently than other alternatives.
